Thank you Claire🙏🏼💞 The quarter inch gap in the waist stay over the zipper is my favourite. It just makes so much sense 😁

Thank you Lara. When teaching, I frequently forget that I don't know what you don't know; and many things that are second nature get overlooked.

Thank you!

Lots of good info here, things my mom taught me but I frankly had forgotten. Thank you for the reminders. The elastic to prevent gap on a neckline or armhole is genius! And I didnt know that the stitch used is called Cat Stitch. Thank you!

@claireshaeffer7616 Месяц назад

Michelle, it's a catchstitch. The English call it a herringbone stitch. C

1 design secret, when u have astunning fabric u don't need a complex design. Fantastic to learn basic couture tech like bastings, thread tracing

@pambain9415 11 месяцев назад

Excellent techniques. I find it so satisfying to hand understitch.

@TodayinJensSewingRoom 11 месяцев назад

I love the idea of the waist stay with hooks and eyes although I'll likely never do it unless it's on a formal garment. But putting the ribbon behind the zipper and using a hook/eye or snap at the waist is genius! I also appreciate the gaping solution as I just had to put darts in an armhole to alleviate this problem.

@saritshull3909 9 месяцев назад

It would make more sense to put a waist stay on something that gets daily use than on a formal outfit. simply because the strain on the zip is occurring more often.

@lalluccia74 5 месяцев назад

Wow! I love all this tips, most of them I did not know about. I will definitely try some of them in my daily sewing projects. Your knowledge is so valuable!

Hi Claire I'm intrigued by the remedy for gaping necklines, a perpetual problem for me. Thank you for these videos, they're very inspiring.

@claireshaeffer7616 11 месяцев назад

Jennifer, the elastic can also be narrow. C

@stephaniefeddock776 11 месяцев назад

Great tips, that you for sharing. I loved hearing about the two zippers on the skirt for ease of getting in but hiding the zipper under a jacket.

@claireshaeffer7616 11 месяцев назад

Thank you. I appreciate your comments. I'm working on some Tailoring "Secrets". C

@stephaniefeddock776 11 месяцев назад

@@claireshaeffer7616 I can't wait. I love your books. In fact I was referencing Couture Sewing Tailoring Techniques and Couture Sewing Techniques today for converting darts to ease. You channel is magical and I enjoy the content.

This is amazing ❤❤

@annethevenot461 11 месяцев назад

Hi Claire. I like the waist stay that keeps the zipper from straining.

#10 for gaping necklines. Thank you! We'd sew lingerie straps into our clothes when I was younger. Sometime post 1980 it became acceptable to show your bra straps. (Although I have not got used to it.)

@janehoworth7092 11 месяцев назад

I found all of these tips interesting. The gaping neck/armhole is a perpetual problem for me. I’ve fixed it in the past by running and pulling up some hand gathering in the facings of gaping areas of a finished garment, but I will try your elastic solution too.

@claireshaeffer7616 11 месяцев назад

Please return with the results from your trial.

@betsey1267 11 месяцев назад

Hi! I am working on a tunic where I would like to cut the body on the bias out of striped fabric. I can match the stripes on one side but am having difficulty matching them on the other side seam. Do you have any hints or tips for working with stripes on the bias or for dealing with extra fabric necessitated for matching seams? Thank you!

@lindaabraham8715 10 месяцев назад

I like the idea of using 2 zippers on the back of the skirt, to hide the closure under a jacket. I would like to know more about closure options. I found out that possible designs are restricted by just the need to get in and out of the garment, and especially when there is no one available to help you dress, and you can't wear a wide (e.g., boat) or low neckline. There are probably principles that must be followed, but so far I have not seen any.

@claireshaeffer7616 10 месяцев назад

Linda, I have one dress with a CB zip that stops about 4" short of the neckline so it doesn't interfere with the binding. Underarm zips used to be popular. I'll think about this some more.
